Even though my Z is stranded at the dealership until the trans get straightened out I still cant shake the mod bug. Just placed an order with Z1

Z1 SS brakelines
Eneos 75w90 gear oil
Eneos 5w30
Oil and diff crush washers
Motul RBF 600 brake fluid
OEM oil filter

As soon as all thats in and I get my car back I can plan a day for my enormous install. Gonna do pads, rotors, brakelines, oil change, diff oil change, sway bars and Koni's all in one day.

duh..! i see it now. :tup: nice.


been updating my ignore list...i donno about everyone, but since about 6-8months ago we have more and more dumbarse newbs coming onboard and my list keeps growing. :ugh2:

:tup:

I am on my third oil change with the ENEOS 5-30 -- It is good stuff.

Yeah unfortunately the site has been sliding towards "that other z site" as far as maturity level goes. I'm really surprised the kids haven't found this thread yet. I couldn't believe how well this thread was going along with it being in the non-premium section when I first checked it out!

All the good stuff

:tup:

You have been in this thread a lot more than usual lately Steve, what gives:confused: You have more posts in here today than the conference room:eek:

:tiphat: Indeed. The finishing touches in getting the car ready for ZDAYZ:excited:

I just recently discovered it. I figured since it was non-premium it'd be full of newbs but that's not the case at all. I like it. :tup:

Yeah, this is like the most friendly and mature thread on the forum:tup:

yah, i hope it stays this way too. :tup: this is like the only thread i really visit these days. the other forums at this site are like the same ol stupid questions over and over and sophmores re-posting answers we posted yrs ago. it gets tiring after a while.

and i do not plan on becoming a premium member (i never do at forums, instead i give my experience and knowledge in return) so i guess my time might be limited. :icon17:

:tup:

I'm still at my parents house... after dinner I'm going to drive home and enjoy a cigar and Sam Adams to celebrate my accomplishment. Washed, clayed, polished, and sealed in about 7 hours. :tup:

hey mr.alchemy- i hadnt had a chance to look back at your tranny situation but i think i read the dealer's going to look at it again. any news from there? :)

damn that's quick! nice job, mustang. :tup: wat is your secret? my full detail takes more like 16-20hrs...

I only did the outside, and the clear coat on this car is so nice you don't have to spend much time at all correcting swirls. Believe it or not I have had this car for 18 months and 28,000 miles and this is the first time I polished it. There were like two swirls on the entire car. :icon18:

The S2000 on the other hand... I am going to need to spend a good 12 hours or so on it. And it's much smaller!

WOW, lotsa work Stevie:tup: Enjoy your rewards when you get home:yum: What Sam you gonna be sipping on??

Hey Ken, I went down Friday and showed the tech exactally what was wrong. He kinda tried to tell me "thats just the way it is" and "new trans' feel notchy" I was like I dont mind notchy but this is just straight up wrong. Then we went out front and sat in a new 370. After both rowing thru the gears he agreed something was in fact wrong with mine. So I suppose they are working on locating and fixing the prob.

wow guys, I like a clean car but I would never spend that much time on it. 16-20 hrs Ken:icon14: HOLY UHFJHBLKJBU!!!!!!!!

oh i see. you know how to keep up your paint. :tup: GL on the s2k. yah i think if buying used i'd be working on the paint longer than under the hood. lol :icon17:

yah, i remember reading this part. :tup: so no updates since, huh? ive been real busy with freelance work, house chores, and play the last two days i forgot friday was only yesterday. lol :icon17: hope you hear from the dealer on monday. :tup:

Oh man this is really good to know! Thanks for the info because I'm in definite need of some clay treatment. Well...my Z is...not my personal self. Just wanted to be sure there was no confusion there, mmmm k? Alllright! :tup:

I'm super glad to hear this. It means that even though you have been going through some hardships of late, the love is still there! I feel a big community hug coming on!

As I have spent no time on the track this is something I would never have been able to comment upon. I think with respect to your statements then, Mr. Brucelidat is absolutely correct to proceed with the purchase of the RE-11s.

I have spoken. :icon17:

Hahah, I'm intrigued! I would love to be privy to this Ken-San approved (or disapproved perhaps?) ignore list! I bet I'm in the top 5! :rofl2:

yah, when i first got the car it took me a good 8-9hrs. that's with 5miles on the odo, brand new car.

then once a year i usually do a full detail which takes about 16-20hrs. i use to be able to do it in 2 days but lately i must be getting old or something cause i need to break it up into 4-5 days, sometimes longer. :icon17:

I carted around quite a bit in it today. Quick wash this morning, went to our MD meet, got some beers to take home, took my mom on some errands. Overall, a great day to be out Z-ing.

But on our last stop, a lady in front of me in a parking lot came to a complete stop. I pulled behind her patiently. She put her car in reverse and started backing up quickly, oblivious to the fact that I was behind her. I honked the horn and threw it in reverse. Thankfully, the ditz realized I was there in time to brake, but it was a very close call.

:eek: WTF was she doing? Glad you didn't get soccer-mom'd.

cool. one thing to note on the Griot's clay is you need to make sure you have plenty of lube on the paint before you glide. otherwise the clay is so soft it will leave smear marks on the paint. it's not a big deal cause you can remove the smear with the clay but just a hassle. :icon17:

the cheezo meguiar's QD with its standard misty sprayhead does very well with the Griot's clay. even better than using Griot's own QD (speedshine). :tup:

The owner of the marina where we were is a friend of mine. He laughed when it was over and said, "You nearly had a toyota logo on your front bumper."

Boston Lager tonight. Got a few left in the fridge.

I just picked up a Flying Dog sampler pack. :yum:

:tup: I LOVE their Tire Bite Golden Ale:yum:

thank you Mr.kenchan, the 3rd one is one of my favorite too.

More to come!!! :tup:

This literally made me laugh out loud! :rofl2:

Yah I think I recall hearing you say that it's so soft that it smears.. No biggie though if it's easy to clean up with a mf cloth.

Hey! I know where that is! lol, the Ikea is a dead give away.

Looking good!

I don't believe you. :roflpuke2:

Address? I'll be right over.

Dogfish 90min here

Oooh.... I've heard good things about Dogfish. I have to try to find some.

LOL…… Good eyes Mr.GaleForce :icon17: That's a perfect place for photo shoot especially with some condos around it.

I really like the effect made by the polarized filter on the color of the blue sky. :tup:

Home... relaxing with a Cusano 18 Double Connecticut Churchill and a Boston Lager. :yum:

You deserve it after seven hours of detailing! Enjoy the finer things in life my friend! :)

Noice M4 I'm fixing to make my marinade and let my meat marinate aaalllll niiight long!

Put the Z in the garage looks like we're gonna have an ugly easter

Nice! I had a Jaime Garcia My Father before dinner.
